Fellow Canadians: While our American friends are eating turkey and everything goes quiet for a few days, I'd like to take a moment to shine a light on some exciting Canadian Startups. I'll start with five and please feel free to share others in the comments. I have no investment in or formal relationship with any of these startups. I just think they are doing interesting stuff. 1) Evara Andreas M. https://www.evara.ai/ If you have studied a lot of statistics or read or listened to the book "Bernoulli's Fallacy - Statistical Illogic and the Crisis of Modern Science", then the value prop of this startup will resonate with you immediately. The basic idea is that there is a different school of statistics based on Bayesian analysis which is arguably better suited for a lot of the problems we face in science, politics, and business. Evara AI is making the toolkit that makes it easy for everyone to embrace Bayesian analysis. 2) whatifi Jon Cowley https://www.whatifi.io/ Creating and maintaining interactive business model scenarios in Excel is painful. It's a pain that is experienced around the world in every industry. Whatifi is an elegant solution to this problem with initial GTM emphasis on the challenges faced by VFX/Gaming Studios and startups. 3) Frontly/Curator Patrick Kelly https://frontly.ai/ https://curatorapp.ai/ The Frontly team has been doing great work with a no-code AI powered SaaS app platform. They were even voted #1 on Product Hunt earlier this year which is a huge feat. This week, they released an entirely new tool called Curator that solves the human-in-the-loop problem for agentic workflows. It's a major challenge that has not been getting enough attention so I'm excited to watch this next chapter in their journey. 4) OnDeck Fisheries AI Alexander Dungate Sepand Dyanatkar https://www.ondeck.fish/ Categories of AI solutions for obvious business problems are becoming extremely crowded right now. On the other hand, OnDeck is tackling a significant global problem that many people are not even aware of. Fisheries are a massive industry that still runs on fairly low technology. OnDeck has been able to use AI to demonstrate meaningful improvements over the status quo. 5) Cognitive3D Tony Bevilacqua https://cognitive3d.com/ Today, there are impressive applications for VR in training, consumer research, gaming, and science. However, developers lack the type of analysis tools (e.g. Hotjar) that have become critical for developers working in the 2D world. Cognitive3D solves this problem for VR developers.
